This invention ertains to mixers such as are used at soda f untains, and the like, for mixing beverages of various kinds.

' One of the objects of this invention is to provide such a mixer which will be portable and arranged for convenient use in a private home. v

Another object is to provide such a mixer in which the motor is arranged to be conveniently removable and is provided with a handle for easy manipulation.

Another object is to provide such a mixer which may be used in connection with an ordinary type of bowl or container for holding the-material to be mixed.

Further objects will appear from the following description taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawing in which The fi re is a perspective view of the mixer emTbdying this invention.

' Referring to the drawing 1 designates a base of 7 horseshoe form having its arms widely separated so as to be able to embrace a bowl or receptacle 2 of any ordinary form.

- 26 The base 1 may be provided with rubber pads or feet 3 upon which it rests so as to avoid marring the support on which it is placed. The base is provided with an an le bracket 4 v in which is removably mounte an upright standard 5. The standard 5 may be clamped in the bracket 4 b means of a set screw 6, or other suitable evice The standard 5 is mounted at a forward inclination so that its upper portion extends over the gap between the arms of the base 1.

Slidably mounted upon the standard 5 for ad'ustment therealon is a bracket 7 vi ed with an upstanding pin 8 and a pair of outspread arms 9 adapted to provide an abutment for the motor 10. The motor is provided with an eye 11 adapted to receive the in 8. The motor is also rovided with a andle 12 by which it may e mani ulated. The switch 13 may also be provid on the motor frame for starting and stopping the same. The shaft 14 of the motor is rovided at its lower end with a stirring mom or 15.

In the use of this device, any suitable rece tacle such as the glass bowl 2i's placed so within the arms of the base 1, said receptacle containing the material to be mixed. The motor 10 is then placed with' its shaft dipping into the receptacle 2 and is set upon the support with its eye 11 over the pin 8 and the motor frame resting against the abutments 9. This supports the motor in a position with-the shaft substantially vertical. The height of the mixing member 15 within the rece tacle may be adjusted by adjusting the brac et 7 along the inclined standard 5. The motor may then be started by manipulating the switch 13 so that the element 15 will be driven in rotation for mixing the material.

It is seen, therefore, that this invention provides a simple and effective mixing device for home use. The horseshoe base provides for use in conjunction with any ordinary household utensil. The inclined standard 5 carries the weight of the motor forward over I the center of support of the base 1 so that a very stable mounting is provided. The motor is easily mounted or dismounted from the sup ort and is easily manipulated by means 0? the handle. The switch 13 is placed adjacentthe handle where it ma conveniently be operated by the thumb. device is therefore provided which is simple in its operation and safe as a household article. t is obvious that various changes may be made so in details of construction and operation, within the scope of the appended claims, without departingfrom the spirit of this invention; it is, therefore, to be understood that this invention is not to be limited to the specific details shown and described.
